Simulation and design of solar photovoltaic systems
Many photovoltaic inverters manufacturers provide their one software in order to size and design a PV system. Usually they propose solar panel database and worldwide solar and temperature database.
All these softwares are free but obviously the inverter database of each is limited to that of the manufacturer. Moreover the quality and accuracy of the calculation is not guaranty and the features of the softwares are limited.

-Sizing of strings
The basic function of the online configurator is to size the strings correctly with respect to the inverter and the photovoltaic modules.
-Sizing also with optimizers : If the selected inverter is compatible with the optimizers, the system can also be dimensioned with these.
-Residential systems and automatic sizing of the battery pack : in presence of residential systems, there is also the possibility of having the automatic sizing of the battery pack.
